President Bush has presided over the largest increase in the size of government in the history in our nation. That he is doing the right thing now for his own partisan political reasons merely means that our objectives in some small way have come together for a short time.

    You should be thankful whenever a politician does the right thing.

I think that boils down what I've seen of your political philosophy in a nutshell.

No, I'm not "thankful" when politicians choose for a time to not act like common thieves. I expect them to follow the Constitution and to excercise fiscal restraint with our money. Much is given to the political class in this nation, and much should be expected and required of it.

  but my point is that you reward a dog for doing the right thing... but not the man that keeps you and your family safe?

A dog cannot reason. One would assume that a man can.

I'm sorry, but I do not believe it is GWBush that keeps me and my family safe.

For the most part, the only thing government is good at is killing people and breaking things.

You are mistaken if you think that Bush has not made America safer. It shows me that you have less than stellar comprehension skills. You do have that right.
